Answer:

Quarters: 10

Dimes: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Constraints

value: 0.25q + 0.10d = 3.30

count: q + d = 18

q = 18 - d

0.25(18-d) + 0.10d = 3.30

4.50-0.25d+0.10d = 3.30

4.50-0.15d = 3.30

-0.15d = -1.20

d = 8

q + d = 18

q + 8 = 18

q = 10

Check:

0.25(10) + 0.10(8) = 3.30

2.5+ 0.80 = 3.30

3.30 = 3.30
